    The MacArthur Community    

San Antonio is the ninth largest city in the United States with a population of over one million people.

North East Independent School District spans 140 square miles in the north central and northeast section of Bexar County. It contains thirty-two elementary schools, nine middle schools, and six comprehensive high schools.  Other programs include  Center School, the Academy of Creative Education (dropout retrieval program),  the International School of the Americas, the Design and Technology Academy, and the Agricultural Magnet Program, all of which serve the varied needs of a growing community.

MacArthur High School, established in 1951, has a population of approximately 2,500 students that is ethnically diverse.  Between 1999 and 2002, our campus experiences an entire facelift.  Even though we are the oldest N.E.I.S.D. high school, every major building is new.

Over the years, MacArthur has had numerous National Merit scholars.
